Respondent: Wellington Road Action Group
I am writing to complain about the potential new housing that is potentially going to happen across sites CFS053 + CFS027 + CFS086 i live at the top of Wellington Road, on the Hockley Road.
The Hockley Road is busy enough we have seen vast increased traffic in the last 10 years, i dont believe this is no longer a B Road, its more of a A road.
If the there are even more houses built at the bottom of Welling ton Road, its just going to make things worse. There are many "Rat Runs" in Rayleigh and around Hockley, currently Wellington Road is a DEAD END Road, if this road is opened up its going to create yet another rat run with hundreds of cars going down.
Rockford Council talks about climate change and resilient environments, yet cannot wait to concrete over Rayleigh and Hockley Green Belt, that seems very hypocritical. How will we ever be carbon neutral, its never going to happen.
I am totally against the building of even more houses at the end of Wellington Road, we have just endured 15 months of 40 ton + lorries going down Hockley Road to build Bullwood Hall, this broke / damaged the Hockley Road and caused many issues in people's houses through the banging of the lorries across the damaged surface of the road.
Rayleigh is busier than ever, if a few key roads in Rayleigh get busy its already becoming gridlocked, how can you think that building 329 houses at the end of Wellington Road is going to make this situation better. There will be more noise, more pollution, more traffic, more services being tested like doctors, fire and police services, who already struggle to cope with current volumes.
I moved from the middle of London to Hockley / Wellington Road, and now you are looking to build a mini London, its disappointing to cover our green belt with more housing. Please do not go ahead with this planning as i believe this is a huge error.
